Anyone up for a day out ?.....how about another attempt at visiting the sammy miller museum in the new forest ?.....meet at box hill stopping at loomies and onto sammy's place........or have you got a better idea ?

Drat, story of my life, have to be in Newmarket 8.30am that day!
Been to Cheddar Gorge recently, stopping at Loomies for breakfast, Sammy Millers is great, wish I was joining you, been there several times and never tire of it, especially when in good company!
Was at Thruxton yesterday on the flying Fazer 8, not a track day as such, as they don't do bike days there any more, but an IAM Ride Skills Day for £120, 6 x 20 min track sessions, with 6 x 20 min classroom sessions and 6 x 20 mins rest break plus an hour for lunch!
Fabulous long track, just over 3 miles and very technical, just loved it, non IAM members are welcome too! Covered 300 miles in all, 100 of them on track so an amazing day with endless tea, coffee and water plus lunch voucher thrown in. Bonus is you don't have to wear leathers, just normal protective gear, if anyone is interested will find out next date, they have also done Goodwood.
Just waiting for track photo's to be posted http://kellydowlingphotography.com/proofing/
Enjoy a great day 8)

Sorry guys not going to make it,
Just got grabbed by my landlord he's been let down by a bloke and needs somebody to drive a tractor for him getting bails of hay moved.
Have to take work when I can get it,
plus seeing a grown farmer cry and beg, does pull on your heart strings a bit.
Hopefully be able to make the next ride out

[HarryHornby]

Breakfast at Nells
Breakfast at Ryker's
Breakfast at  Loomies
Breakfast at Sammy Miller's

Looks like I'm first home...I've always said lava red is fastest 

[greenman]

Ah at last, dry feet. Got home at 730 after searching fareham and gosport for fuel, 20 miles before I found some, thought I was going to run out. Great day out, really good to meet you guys shame about the rain at the beginning but soon dryed out, Sammy millers was excellent. Will have to do it again sometime.

[nick crisp]

Good turn out today, ten of us, and we actually made it to Sammy Miller's this time  :eek:







And good to see everyone again as always, with the welcome addition of newcomer, greenman - well done for getting out on a LOFO ride so soon after joining FOC-U  :thumbup

Hope everyone gets home safe and sound.

[noggythenog]

Good effort foccers. 8)

[Punkstig]

Well done red, great day, fuel light came on at 232 miles, that's my best yet!

[mtread]

Yep great day. Great organisation Red. You deserve an award I think for getting the most foccers out on a ride ? Apart from rain at the beginning, perfect. Told when I got home that it carried on raining here until about 1pm, so we did right heading south west. Sammy's was great, brilliant collection, and glad I carried on to Milford for the sea view.
Got home 8.25 after a stop at Cobham services for liquid and a sausage roll ...... well I didn't have the quiche. M3 all the way to M25 was awful. So was most of the M25. Wishing I'd done the A272 back now.
Great to meet some new and old faces. Must fit in a few more before autumn.

[Red Ceri]

Another great day out, great company and some great roads, luckily on the way we turned off the M3 and took the A272,



Got home at 9.30pm after 14 hours and 372miles.

I had a really good time, thanks to all of you making me feel welcome, you never know, when your meeting a bunch of bikers for the first time, who your going to meet or what sort of ride your going to get. I didn't have to rag it to keep up (not all the time anyway), equally, glad it wasn't a slow trundle and good company to boot, I'll keep my eyes open for the next one.

[dazza]

Great day as normal Foccers, love that 272, always seems better on the way home. Less traffic and on it for longer I guess.
Loved Sammy Millers and good to get some sea air in view of the Isle of Wight.
Passing through Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst was good too, used to holiday there as a kid.
Got in about 21.15 and covered 338 miles, let do it again soon Foccers.
